Beware, the powdered sugar is going to fly all over your counter!!!!!!!!

After that is well blended, add 3/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract and 2-3 drops of red food coloring.

Be sure to let the kiddos lick the beaters on this one :)

Next place 2 generous teaspoons of the filling on the flat side of half your cookies.

Here is how I did it, to make sure I didn't frost too many:

Next put the cookies together!!!

And smush them hard enough so some of the filling comes outside the edges...

you'll see why soon...

Take some candy canes (I used 10 little ones, probably would've been fine with 9),

and smash 'em!

(p.s. You can tell my lighting got worse toward the end of these pictures... apparently I don't have the best lighting in my kitchen after sunset. And yes this was pretty much an all-day event for me!)

About Me

I love God, my husband, my sons, my family, my friends. I try to find balance in an unbalanced world. I love living in Washington but am a Wisconsin Girl at heart. I love being an RN in Long Term Care. I am thankful EVERY day for my parents and the support they have given me on my 31 year journey thus far. I love a hot bath and a clean house. I think Erik and I will have more kids, and maybe adopt, but it is not up to us in the grand scheme. I love skiing, snowboarding, rollerblading, yoga, golf. I hate conflict and I love listening. I strive to live by the virtues of Discernment, Innocence, Authenticity, Modesty, Reverence, Contentment, and Generosity. I love the Green Bay Packers and Fantasy Football. I love how my baby sisters have developed into gorgeous women and are in love! I hate olives, running late, and wearing make-up. I love following Dave Ramsey's plan to "Live like no one else so we can Live and Give like no one else". My soft spot is for animals. I love the saying "Life is lived between the cup of coffee and the glass of wine"... and in my case, I prefer the coffee STRONG, and the wine RED! (Oh and did I mention, I love my husband?!)
